Originally, this
story led into a fairly weird and ultimately pointless story where
Sonic briefly visited the year 3003, five hundred years in the
future, rather than a mere ten. I didn't feel that story added
anything of value to Eon's World and decided to nix it in the
remaster in favour of a brand new story, which you'll see in pages
#101 through #105. At the time I originally wrote this story arc in
2003, I had no idea I'd still be working on Eon's World
fifteen years later, and certainly not that I'd ever come back and
remaster these early pages. So, the idea of writing a time travel
story connecting the early days of Eon's World with the modern era
obviously never occured to me. But more about that when we get to
it.

The only major
changes to this page are an improved first panel and the replacement
of Bendilin's custom Nack sprites with my own. No disrespect to
Bendilin, of course. They made some fantastic sprites. It's just
that, once I made my own Nack sprites, I liked them better.
